Thanks! I'm especially proud of the fact that three of my M.Sc. thesis students are coauthors.

That's lovely indeed; I'm happy for you.sasasha wrote: ↑Thu Jun 06, 2024 1:40 am I’ve had a bit of a mad few weeks, but much of it lovely. A friend from primary school got married, which was great. At the wedding there was a family friend of hers, whom I had met a fair few times during childhood, a work-friend of her dad I think, who used to visit them from Japan. I was surprised that he remembered me and particularly that I liked foxes (as a teenager I was studying Japanese and had written a haiku about a little fox walking on melting ice, which I remember showing to him). It turned out he was shortly due to stay with another friend of his who happens to live in the same part of the country as me. Long story short he’s coming for dinner tonight and I’m attempting to tidy up and make okonomiyaki! Excited, if rather nervous!!

Good luck!WeepingElf wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 6:05 am I have been invited to an interview at the library where I had applied for an apprenticeship. (Yes, it seems somewhat odd to apply for an apprenticeship in one's 50s. But I had to quit my old profession for health reasons, and the only alternatives would be cleaning rooms, delivering parcels, or the like.)
Fingers crossed! Good luck!WeepingElf wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 6:05 am I have been invited to an interview at the library where I had applied for an apprenticeship.

Thank you both, and all others who wish good luck to me in the future!

It turned out that it wasn't the right thing for me, and I withdrew my application.MacAnDàil wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2024 11:14 amViel Glück damit!WeepingElf wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 6:05 am I have been invited to an interview at the library where I had applied for an apprenticeship.
